Welcome

Founded in 2003, Holy Land Olive Oil was started as a follow-up to an all-volunteer project to help Palestinian farmers whose income has been devastated by Israel’s policies of closure and its prohibition on the sale of Palestinian olive oil within its territory at the beginning of the year 2000 Intifada.

Holy Land Olive Oil is proud to be the first to import Palestinian olive oil into the US. Our mission is to create and sustain a permanent market for Palestinian farmers – in spite of political, logistical, and market economics/ pricing hurdles. For the olive growers, your purchase of their product is an expression of support that is valued a lot more than a handout.

Thank you for visiting with us. We hope that you will find the information on this website useful, and we thank you in advance for your support.

Palestinian Recipes

Practically every household, street stall, cafe and restaurant has its own preferred way of making the basic Palestinians dishes. Some use a little more garlic and a bit less onion, while others pour on lemon juice and skimp on the olive oil (!!).
